This #solarstorm could be a direct hit at Earth as hinted by the blast wave moving across the surface of the Sun during the eruption. Waiting for coronagraph imagery & official model predictions, but this storm may hit Earth early to mid-day May 11. pic.twitter.com/rvvUeruWGE

Region 3664 (in the Earth-strike zone) launching an Earth-directed #solarstorm now! Ongoing X1-flare with R3-level #RadioBlackout on Earth's dayside. Expect HF/VHF #radio & #GPS signal degradation over next hour, esp. Australia, Asia, Europe, East Africa (colored areas in map). pic.twitter.com/9vsp8oKT4T
